Chapter 1: Planning

"What did she tell you this time?" Shikamaru asked as he shook his head and sighed at his friend stupidity. He couldn't imagine how a human being could sustain so much cruelty and embarrassment in such a long time. Really, this stupid love affair…or should he say one-sided love affair, should end, for Naruto's sake…and for his sanity's sake.

Naruto groaned out loud and slammed his head on the table earning him some unwanted attention, glares, surprised glances, raised eyebrows from nearby patrons of the restaurant and an infuriated sigh from a pineapple head genius. "She said that she doesn't like me."

"So? She always tells you that." Kiba rolled his eyes at that statement earning him a glare from the not so bubbly blond beside him.

"…and that she would never, ever like me…."

"Again. So?" Another rolling of the eyes ensued.

Shikamaru gave a loud sigh…or was it a growl. Seriously they had this conversation everyday…it's like a ritual for them to end the day by discussing Naruto's stupid attempts at getting Sakura's attention which by the way, always end up in a total rejection. "You really need to give us something new Naruto. She always says those things…but you never, ever give up. So what are you fuming about this time?"

"Gee! Such great friends I have. Well she told me that she would never like a lowly employee like me." An open mouth and a raised brow was all he got for a reply. "…and with her beauty she was destined to be the wife of a billionaire like 'Uchiha Sasuke'…"

Kiba slammed his hand on the table gaining yet again curious glances, hateful glares, and shocked looks from nearby customer. "She really did it this time. What was that about lowly employee??" Kiba slung his right hand on the shoulder of a startled Naruto and gave a cheeky grin on his way. "She really needs to come down to earth. A good prank would be just the thing to give Little Miss Princess a taste of reality."

"And what do you propose we do?"

"Make her fall in love with a lowlife like you!"

A grin. Raised brow. Confused look.

A grin. A raised brow. Very confused look.

A strained grin. An annoyed look. A face of realization.

"Hey! What do you mean lowlife?! She didn't say that. She said lowly employee."

"Stupid! That what she was implying." Kiba sneered.

"Did not."

"Did to."

"Not. Asshole!"

"Was to. Ramen-brain."

"Fuck You Dog breath!" And that started World War III. Fists were flying everywhere. Kicks were being dodged with accurate precision. An upper cut was launched hitting someone on the gut knocking some air out of the poor blond. A kick on the groin was the blonde's answer sending the dog boy down on his knees…che! There goes the lineage of the Inuzaka. Growls and snarls could be heard allover the restaurant.

A vein was beginning to throb on Shikamaru's head. A migraine was beginning to erupt. "ENOUGH!"

The two idiots were frozen on the spot as Shikamaru slammed both his hands on the table sending once again attention of the whole crowd to their table. The two were frozen in the middle of their fight, each was afraid to move even an inch that may further aggravate the genius wrath. A mad Shikamaru is really scary.

"So Kiba, what do you planning for this so called reven…I mean prank?"

In a flash the two separated from their current position and assumed their seats once again at their table. "Yeah Dog-breath, tell us your oh-mighty plan to take over the universe." Naruto sneered earning him a growl from the dog boy.

"Enough Naruto."

"Che. I'm helping you here ramen-baka. Well if you really want to know…" Kiba gave leer at Shikamaru's way. "We'll make Sakura fall in love with a lowlife…"

Growl.

"But how?"

"By impersonating the Uchiha."

Raised brow. Indecisive look.

"You mean to say that a man would pose as the Uchiha and make Sakura fall for him and when she does we let out the truth…"

Kiba nod vigorously and grinned at his brilliant idea. "…in front of everybody." Silent devilish snickers could be heard.

Naruto look at his two friends who were planning some evil plot for world domination… err I mean an evil prank on Sakura. He shuddered as Shikamaru's face lit up at what the dog boy was saying…really a mad Shikamaru is scary…but an evil plotting Shikamaru is way terrifying than having your body chopped into pieces.

"That's not going to work."

Kiba glared at Naruto for interrupting their intellectual conversation. Really, can't Naruto be grateful enough that he was doing such length to avenge him? It's not that he wanted to spite the pink bitch because she shooed him like a dog yesterday…really there's no malice here. It was all for Naruto's sake.

"Sakura would definitely know it's a fake Sasuke."

Shikamaru rested his head on his palm. Sigh, another peaceful day wasted by troublesome conversation. "…but she never met the Uchiha again after he moved away, right? I've heard that the Uchiha had evaded all media coverage's and photo shoots, so practically nobody, well except for the high society, know his face."

"That's right, tell it to him Shika." Kiba put out his tongue at the blond earning him a jab at his right.

"So even if she had a picture of him in elementary, we could always find someone that would match up to his traits. So what the hell did he look like in elementary? I've heard when we move here he was the prince of your school."

Kiba snorted at that. "Lucky for him I move in a few years after he left or else he would have had me as competition."

Naruto and Shikamaru both rolled their eyes at that.

"Well Sasuke-teme is a bastard. He had this emo-look that told us all that, he's the most pitiful human being that's why girls go gaga over him. He always wears dark clothes to match up his black stupid hair and fucking eyes."

"Oh, you mean to say that he is handsome. A silent type of guy who girls swoon over. A raven head with mysterious eyes."

"…yeah something like that." Naruto snarled annoyingly. "You know I got this funny feeling you planned this a long time ago."

Guilty face. Trying-to-not-look-guilty face. Annoyed glare.

"Fine. So where do we fine such guy?" Naruto sighed in defeat.

Shikamaru pointed a finger at a raven guy wearing a 'Konoha Auto-repair shop'. "Well that guy in that automobile repair shop looks like a good candidate to me."
